Central Elections Committee chairman Yitzhak Sohlberg asked Israel's National Security Council to clarify who is responsible for evaluating requests from non-Knesset party leaders seeking government-funded security details. The request comes amid a shifting Israeli political landscape ahead of the country's next election. Separately, about 120 Israeli citizens living abroad are preparing to sue for voting rights ahead of the October 27 election, after being removed from the voter registry without their knowledge. The expats say they intend to take their case to Israel's High Court, adding another administrative controversy to the run-up to the vote.
